The Visa Playbook: Live Office Hours with a Top Immigration Attorney

We're hosting Maria Mihaylova, an Immigration Attorney at BAL (Berry Appleman & Leiden)... a Band 1 Chambers-ranked firm that represents some of the largest banks and corporations in the world. Maria's career has been spent advising exactly the kind of candidates WSO trains: high-performers targeting IB, consulting, PE, and finance roles.

She'll cover:

  • What the $100K H-1B fee actually means for your offer
  • How to read a firm's sponsorship signals before you accept
  • OPT → STEM OPT → H-1B without losing status
  • When to build an O-1 or EB-1A as a backup (yes, you might qualify)
  • The non-STEM major trap and how to work around it
  • What to do if your offer gets pulled or you get laid off

Bring your your questions!
